Is Ricky Pearsall playing this week? 49ers WR injury news leaves shaky update for fantasy football image

The San Francisco 49ers don't play until Monday night this week, which makes Ricky Pearsall's injury situation all the more complicated for fantasy football players.

He's a startable WR if healthy, but that's not a sure thing at this point.

Pearsall is coming off a strong Week 15, when he had six catches for 96 yards.

In Week 16, San Francisco is playing against a beatable defense, the Indianapolis Colts.

But will Pearsall be out there? It remains to be seen.

Is Ricky Pearsall playing this week?

It's not yet clear whether Pearsall will play in Week 16, but the signs aren't good.

He didn't practice on either Thursday or Friday for the 49ers.

He's dealing with both knee and ankle injuries, according to the injury report.

It's been a stop-and-start season for Pearsall, who has appeared in just eight of the 14 games the 49ers have played so far.

The Saturday practice report will be informative, but it still might come down to a late call on Monday night that'll make things every tough for fantasy players to wait on.
